That always catches my attention

Craig Street produced iirc. Like the rejected version of Norah Jones debut and Joe Henry's Scar. Also, the smoky KD Lang album. I like them all.

Good point, it’s exactly this

Or “My 5-year old son can do that” without realizing that the merit lies not in doing it but in being the first to do it

Will never forget the first time ever I listened to those complete sessions. Memorable.

Mainly due to the trumpet tone but also the set list. That’s how I remember it.

Me too, I adore that sound. Phil Urso is also in that group of Lester devotees. Those Blackhawk albums are glorious. The one at the Manne Hole is too derivative of the sound of the Miles Davis 5t imho

😀

To me it is, specially bc it happened very early in my jazz days

Unforgettable

Yeahhhhhhhh

Almost sure they were taken at the Penthouse in Seattle on May 1966 and will probably be in the booklet of this upcoming album
